Social Sciences, Human Services, and Teacher Education

Mission Statement

The Division of Social Sciences, Human Services, Early Childhood and Teacher Education seeks to empower students in their personal, academic, and professional lives by expanding their knowledge of the social and behavioral sciences and enhancing their skills in using that knowledge. The divisional mission essentially addresses three needs by providing:

1.) Service to all academic divisions in the form of general education knowledge and skills,

2.) High-quality content specialization aimed at transfer preparation, and

3.) Specialized course content  required for certification or licensing in professional fields relevant to the Division’s area of responsibility. 

The division offers college-level and continuing education courses, stressing competency in communication skills and critical thinking, appreciation for cultural diversity and knowledge of social sciences and human services.
